Briefing Week -> Anxiety Week

 Hello and assalamualaikum.

How's everyone? Still at home or dah return ke campus? Dah start new academic calendar?

As for me, today marked the 3rd day of briefing week. Most of the contents mestila membincangkan requirements clinic which causes me anxious berdebar-debar sakit kepala and so on. Literally, requirements clinic tu macam KPI; berapa patient kena treat in order for us untuk seat for final exam, and nak grad la senang cakap. Covid-19 memang cause a lottttt of impact on us sebab we burned like one block plus few weeks due to MCO. so requirement yang patut achieve masa y3 dah kena carry forward ke y4. frustrated? of course. tapi tak ada pilihan kan. hadap je la.

Yesterday, ada one of my seniors ni dia post something on her ws story. which is about all the requirements ni la. but since I will be at home for the first few weeks of block 1. i literally can do nothing much and no point pun kalau risau lebih lebih cause i have no control pasal treatment patients and so on. one of her advice was to enjoyyyy every moment at home ni cause once we return to the university, no more play time, just strive for the success and achieve all the requirements sahaja la.

I would like to share some of my favourite places, newly discovered places when I'm at home. For those who are staying at Seberang Perai, please do check all the places if you have some free time. 

1. Cherok To Kun, Bukit Mertajam

This is a hiking spot. Very popular among Chinese. Like tempat berkumpul diaorang every weekend, maybe weekdays too. Masa first time datang sini, this place was closed due to MCO. But at that time, dah boleh keluar rumah and buat recreation with social distancing. Since main gate dia tutup, we decided to climb up guna jalan hutan. remember kitaorg first timer kan, so kitaorg follow 2 orang uncle cina. one of the uncle tu perasan like kitaorg follow diaorg, so he offered untuk jadi tour guide hahaha. but they didn't hike sampai puncak pun. time nak hiking turun tu kitaorg try turun sendiri. actually dia ada few places yang best tapi sebab tutup kan, so tak boleh nak lalu and mampu pandang dari jauh je. obviously, I akan repeat sebab tak sampai puncak lagi so dia cam geram; achievement still locked.

2. Suling Hill, Bukit Mertajam

It is the most visited, repeated hiking spot for us. Number one, this place sangat dekat dengan perumahan kitaorang. Number two, hiking paling basic sebab bukit dia tak terlalu mencabar, tak pancit sangat and tak ramai sangat hahaha. The trail started with kebun getah, then start hiking with Mengkuang Dam view on the right side. Once dah sampai puncak, there are several rest place like gazebo untuk take some time. Even dekat atas puncak tu ada kebun durian and laman yang dijaga rapi. It's actually property orang lain yang dia open untuk orang ramai datang.

3. Mengkuang Dam, Bukit Mertajam

The most beautiful place. Since kitaorg duduk di Seberang Perai Tengah, literally memang tak ada pantai or tasik or anything yang berair hahaha apart from this place. This dam sangat besar and dia ada track at the side untuk orang beriadah. Very nice view because this dam located in between few hills. bayangkan u lari dekat tepi tasik dengan view cantik plus ada sunset or sunrise accompany u. OMG so breathtaking hahaha. masa mula-mula MCO lifted dulu, memang ramai orang datang, kena queue panjang so kitaorang memang avoid la, but know since inter-state dah boleh, tak ramai dah manusia datang sini haha.

I want to share about tempat makan but i think i will reserve it for the next post. harapnya ada la next post tu. 

p/s: I wrote this post 3 weeks ago and I forgot to finish them. Actually, I'm in week 3 already hahahaha !

gotta go. bye
